Samba and write access ??

[mickle026]

Hi, I hope you can help

I have reinstalled a server with kubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx and have a problem writing to the shared drive from my windows machine, but its only some folders ...!
The shared drive contains files from a previous installation.

my samba config contains

[global]
workgroup = workgroup
netbios name = kubuntu

[music]
path = /media/disk-1/music
browseable = yes
read only = no

[saves]
path = /media/disk-1/saves
browseable = yes
read only = no

.... there are other shared folders

I have ran this command from the terminal (mike is the kubuntu user it is started as and he has access rights like admin)

sudo chown -R mike /media/disk-1 && chmod 0777 -R /media/disk-1

(I believe the 0 in 0777 should reset other flags)

to make sure the new kubuntu user owns the files and has write access.

Here is my problem.

I can write to some directories from my windows machine but cannot to some others, the settings are the same for all of them.

Why is this?? can someone help....

I think it must be something beyond my knowledge like (uid) or something

please help - i have too many files to start again

hello,
the folders you can not write in was created from windows or server linux?

They were created in ubuntu 9.04.

A few of the folders are now writeable 24hrs later without a server restart.
I had previously rebooted with no change...

This is strange to say the least..... I thought my attempt at making them writeable was correct, but it seems strange that its slow at allowing samba to access them. Maybe its either just my machine or something within kubuntu.
